 * Symbol question.svg The hook should explain why he chose to amputate his leg. Otherwise, it sounds like the decision was made without an actual rationale.--SGCM (talk)  15:07, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * ... ALT1 that as a ten year old, 2012 Paralympic swimmer Michael Auprince chose to have his leg amputated because it was malformed as a result of a congenital birth defect?


 * Proposed alt. --LauraHale (talk) 20:38, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg There should be an "a" before congenital. Otherwise, size, sources, date, and hook look good.--SGCM (talk)  00:45, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Added missing "a" to hook as per SGCM, to make life easier for the person assembling the prep areas. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:05, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree: Laura Hale's first hook was much stronger. The athlete made the choice as a ten-year old; the reader can click and figure out why. One would assume that there is always an "actual rationale", and this is part of the DYK game. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 04:08, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
